Oh Don, It's not always about you...;-) or L26 The final tubes along with C68 and C80 which I don't think are going to be very happy with a 35% over voltage. The margins are beyond best practice. I

Re: Re-membered (new to me) HT-37
Dave, Perhaps you are aiming that at me. I am just looking in, and mostly still wondering why that caution {pause in STBY }was in the manual. I have to believe there is a reason why it says what it

Hi Russ, The 750V marked on the schematic might represent the voltage during key-down.? The HV in my HT-37 with the original tube rectifiers is just a tad above 1000 V in STBY mode. What kind of

Thanks Dave. Will do that next.? The crystal is suspect, so will check for oscillation/frequency first. -- 73, Russ KW6T The cheap item is rarely the least expensive.

Re: Re-membered (new to me) HT-37
Don. The bleeders are the likely culprit, and the replacement capacitors may also have an effect.? Three 68uf 450V capacitors replaced the two 20uf at 600 V capacitors; about 22uf versus 10uf in the

Oh, after looking, the bleeder is rather too small to make that difference. Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2024 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HallicraftersRadios] Re-membered

Re: Re-membered (new to me) HT-37
Also expect a voltage increase due to switching to semiconductor rectifiers though 250v seems like quite a bit. I only experienced increase like this when I removed the swinging choke which was not

Hello all. Somehow, this group disappeared from my groups.io list, so I re-applied. Back in the 1970's I ran an HT-37 with good results--a fine transmitter.? I sold it to a friend, and after about 6
